These are the top five NFL player props for the TNF Week 15 match-up between San Francisco and Seattle.
Christian McCaffrey Over 35.5 Receiving Yards (-120)
Running back Christian McCaffrey was added to San Francisco’s offense for his rushing and receiving skills. He has 35 receptions for 316 yards in seven games with the team and averaging 45.1 receiving yards over those seven outings.
San Francisco quarterback Brock Purdy is averaging 197.5 passing yards in his last two games. He is also averaging 20.5 completions in each of those contests. McCaffrey caught 10 of those passes for 114 yards.
Christian McCaffrey Over 75.5 Rushing Yards (-120)
McCaffrey’s primary job is running the ball for the 49ers offense. He has 89 attempts for 426 rushing yards in seven games. His rushing yards per game is 60.9. However, McCaffrey has gained a combined 185 yards in his last two games.
Seattle’s defense allows 160.5 rushing yards a game, which is ranked 31st in the NFL. McCaffrey will easily rush for 76+ yards.
George Kittle Over 40.5 Receiving Yards (-125)
Tight end George Kittle is third on San Francisco’s stat list with 500 receiving yards on 42 catches. Whether Jimmy Garoppolo or Brock Purdy is throwing the ball, Kittle has found a way to come up with those receptions.
Kittle has taken a back seat in his last three games, recording less than 30 receiving yards. However, he’s averaging 45.5 receiving yards in 11 starts.
Tyler Locket Longest Reception Over 23.5 Yards (-110)
The Seahawks offensive gameplan would be missing a key ingredient without Tyler Locket. He is leading the team in receiving yards with 896 yards and touchdown catches with eight. His longest play was a 40-yard reception and he is averaging 12.6 yards per catch.
More importantly, Locket knows how to get open downfield in traffic. San Francisco’s defense will keep him in check, but a long reception is possible.
Geno Smith Over 271.5 Passing and Rushing Yards (-115)
Quarterback Geno Smith has thrown the ball 308 times for 3433 yards and he has carried the ball 56 times for 263 yards. Combined, Smith is averaging 322.8 passing/rushing yards in his last five games.
The 49ers defense is very good with not allowing too many yards, but Seattle’s offense is averaging 28.3 points over its last three games. Smith will pass the ball for 270 yards this game. He only has to pickup one or two runs to meet this mark.
